Job 3:8-26

Let them curse
<05344> (8799)

it that curse
<0779> (8802)

the day
<03117>_,

who are ready
<06264>

to raise up
<05782> (8788)

their mourning
<03882>_.

{their...: or, leviathan}

Let the stars
<03556>

of the twilight
<05399>

thereof be dark
<02821> (8799)_;

let it look
<06960> (8762)

for light
<0216>_,

but [have] none; neither let it see
<07200> (8799)

the dawning
<06079>

of the day
<07837>_:

{the dawning...: Heb. the eyelids of the morning}

Because it shut not up
<05462> (8804)

the doors
<01817>

of my [mother's] womb
<0990>_,

nor hid
<05641> (8686)

sorrow
<05999>

from mine eyes
<05869>_.

Why died
<04191> (8799)

I not from the womb
<07358>_?

[why] did I [not] give up the ghost
<01478> (8799)

when I came out
<03318> (8804)

of the belly
<0990>_?

Why did the knees
<01290>

prevent
<06923> (8765)

me? or why the breasts
<07699>

that I should suck
<03243> (8799)_?

For now should I have lain still
<07901> (8804)

and been quiet
<08252> (8799)_,

I should have slept
<03462> (8804)_:

then had I been at rest
<05117> (8799)_,

With kings
<04428>

and counsellors
<03289> (8802)

of the earth
<0776>_,

which built
<01129> (8802)

desolate places
<02723>

for themselves;

Or with princes
<08269>

that had gold
<02091>_,

who filled
<04390> (8764)

their houses
<01004>

with silver
<03701>_:

Or as an hidden
<02934> (8803)

untimely birth
<05309>

I had not been; as infants
<05768>

[which] never saw
<07200> (8804)

light
<0216>_.

There the wicked
<07563>

cease
<02308> (8804)

[from] troubling
<07267>_;

and there the weary
<03019> <03581>

be at rest
<05117> (8799)_.

{weary: Heb. wearied in strength}

[There] the prisoners
<0615>

rest
<07599> (8768)

together
<03162>_;

they hear
<08085> (8804)

not the voice
<06963>

of the oppressor
<05065> (8802)_.

The small
<06996>

and great
<01419>

are there; and the servant
<05650>

[is] free
<02670>

from his master
<0113>_.

Wherefore is light
<0216>

given
<05414> (8799)

to him that is in misery
<06001>_,

and life
<02416>

unto the bitter
<04751>

[in] soul
<05315>_;

Which long
<02442> (8764)

for death
<04194>_,

but it [cometh] not; and dig
<02658> (8799)

for it more than for hid treasures
<04301>_;

{long: Heb. wait}

Which rejoice
<08056>

exceedingly
<01524>_,

[and] are glad
<07797> (8799)_,

when they can find
<04672> (8799)

the grave
<06913>_?

[Why is light given] to a man
<01397>

whose way
<01870>

is hid
<05641> (8738)_,

and whom God
<0433>

hath hedged in
<05526> (8686)_?

For my sighing
<0585>

cometh
<0935> (8799)

before
<06440>

I eat
<03899>_,

and my roarings
<07581>

are poured out
<05413> (8799)

like the waters
<04325>_.

{I eat: Heb. my meat}

For the thing which I greatly
<06343>

feared
<06342> (8804)

is come
<0857> (8799)

upon me, and that which I was afraid
<03025> (8804)

of is come
<0935> (8799)

unto me. {the thing...: Heb. I feared a fear, and it came upon me}

I was not in safety
<07951> (8804)_,

neither had I rest
<08252> (8804)_,

neither was I quiet
<05117> (8804)_;

yet trouble
<07267>

came
<0935> (8799)_.
